Assign Test Runs

To better administer Test Runs, qTest administrators can assign Test Runs to individual members of their testing team. You can assign a single Test Run to a user or assign multiple Test Runs to a single user at one time.

To optimize your team’s workflow, you can enable notification settings for your project to send email notifications to users when they are assigned to a Test Run. For more information, refer to Notification Settings.

Assign a single Test Run

To assign a single Test Run to a user:

  1. Click the Test Execution tab.

  2. In the tree panel, select the object that contains the Test Run that you want to assign, such as a Release or a Test Cycle.

    The object screen appears.

  3. Click the Statistics tab to view a grid of all Test Runs contained in the object.

  4. Click the link in the ID column for the Test Run that you want to assign.

    The Test Run screen appears.

  5. In the Test Run Properties section, click the Assigned To field to display a drop-down menu of users, where you can search for and select the user to assign the Test Run to.

Assign multiple Test Runs

You can assign multiple Test Runs to a single user at one time using one of the following methods:

Assign multiple Test Runs using Test Suite assignment

To assign multiple Test Runs to a user, you can assign a Test Suite to the user and then add new Test Runs to the Test Suite. When a new Test Run is added to an assigned Test Suite, the Test Run is automatically assigned to the same user.

The Assigned To value is only passed down to new Test Runs added to the Test Suite. If you change the Assigned To value of the Test Suite, the Assigned To value of existing Test Runs is not updated.

Assign multiple Test Runs using batch edit in Data Query

To assign multiple Test Runs to a user, you can batch edit the Test Runs using the Data Query feature.

  1. Click the Test Execution tab.

  2. In the tree panel, select the object that contains the Test Runs that you want to assign, and then click the Data Query icon on the toolbar. You can also right-click an object and then select Data Query on the context menu.

    The Test Run Query screen appears.

  3. Build a query using different criteria, operators, and groupings to generate a list of Test Runs that you want to assign.

  4. Select the check boxes for the Test Runs that you want to assign.

  5. Click Edit. Then select Batch Edit on the drop-down menu that appears.

    The Batch Edit dialog appears.

  6. Select the check box for the Assigned To field. Then search for and select the user to assign the Test Runs to.

  7. Click Confirm to assign the Test Runs to the selected user.
